Review summary

The basics of the cruise were as usual and what one would expect.  However it really failed in the on board activities especially since we had limited time at each port.  If you booked an excursion, that was all you could do that day.  No time for anything else.  I felt they cut the time in port way too much.  Most of the time we sailed about 4-5pm and were required to be back one hour prior.  The excursions  sometimes didn't begin until 11am, required a lot of travel to get where they were going and often got back just before sailing.  I felt like the ship catered to the 80-year-plus crowd.

Cabin was certainly the normal, just looked a little dated.
